Photo by: Steffany W.

I love this photo very much! The way the sun light is
hitting the bush causing it to brighten up but yet cast a bit of a shadow is
really cool. I also enjoy how the depth of field turned out with the bush
behind, and a few leaves up front, got blurry. It really adds some depth to the
image. I also like how there are different colors on the leaves, that really
adds some texture to the photo.

I took this photo of a tree near the gym at school. The sun
was shining so beautifully on the leaves making the colors shin even more. I
thought I was really beautiful so I tried to capture that. When I took the
photo it didn’t turn out just like how it really looked, but the photo did
capture a different feel. When I looked with my own eyes I didn’t see the sun
shining though like it is in the picture but yet that was what was happening.
Seeing the sun shining through, and its rays, like that looks really cool. The
leaves have some shadowing, but yet also some brightness in them. I’m really
happy with this photo.

A few days before I look this photo there was a heavy rain
fall so that is why there was this huge puddle in the street in front of the
school. As I was taking this photo it was staring to rain, again, so the rain
droplets showed up in the puddle adding more texture to the photo. I used
Photoshop to brighten up the colors in it, which I feel turned out nicely. I
love how you can see it was raining by the water drops in the water but it was
sunny out.

Description: I took this photo for an assignment, childhood
memory, and had my friend get into a leave fight. I use to do this all the time
as a kid were ever there were dead leaves. I really like the leaves flying
around and the face my friends are making.

A wild and rare pizza box has been sighted in Stanley Park,
Burnaby, Canada. This endangered species lays in wait for its unknown pray to
come along. Rule of thirds is applied and the image is meant to be a
little blurry.

For this photo I used a lion’s
ceramic head I had and surrounded it by leaves. I positioned the lion to look
as though it were coming out of the leaves I thought it made the photo look
more eye catching if the lion was positioned that way. I made the photo
portrait and used the shade white balance to make the photo the way it is.

For this photo I was inspired
by fall. I put a glass container with leaves and pebbles in it and placed it in
a round fire place that had leaves in it. I thought the setting was different
and I used the shade white balance because it was getting dark inside the fire
place. I really like the warmth that it gives off.

For this photo I took the
baseball mitt and ball and surrounded it by leave. I wanted to create a fall
sports inspired theme. For the white balance of this photo I used shade to give
it a warmer look instead of a blue tone. I also digitally put leaves in the top
left corner to surround the mitt. This is one of my favorite photos ever.

I zoomed in so I can capture the rain drops that were fallen
in the leaves. And I tried to sharpen the rain drops but they stared to look to
pixelated. The colors reminded me of fall. I was satisfied how the leaves came
out, except the colors of the background that merges with the leaves.

For this picture I was walking at the park and the ducks all
just started following me so I stopped and started to take some pictures. I
really like this one because it had good focus on the duck and the green head
was bright and the bill was nice and bright also which draws your attention in.
The brown body of the duck had nice coloring to it as well. All around, I am
pretty proud of this photo.

I love this photo because of the darkness of it. The tall
white tree really stands out as it leans over the pathway. It was starting to
get dark out but, that made this photo look even better because it made the
tree stand out even more. This photo turned out great and I couldn’t be happier
about it!

In this photo I tried to capture a good rendition of my
interpretation on fall/autumn. I feel this picture is unique because it has a
different view of autumn, it’s not a typical autumn photo. I love how the
leaves follow the pathway and lead you to wonder what is around the corner.
This picture was hard to get though because it was starting to get dark out but
luckily I got the picture.

I took this photo while photographing objects in my front
yard. The pumpkin was originally meant to be a candle holder but my mom now
uses it as a shade for our light in our front yard every Halloween. I thought
it was a good representation of October and I like the angle that I
photographed the pumpkin.

I like to
collect skulls, so in my room I have a lot of skulls on my shelves. So I
decided to take my studded skull and set it on my white sheets beside my
bedside so I could get some natural lighting. I purposely wanted my photo to
look kind of blurry though. Just to add a weird effect sense it was already a
skull.

This photo
was taken in the same apple tree as the one that the spider web was taken in.
The apple looked distant from all the other apples so he was a perfect target
for a photo shoot! But I tried really hard in photo shop to make the apple
stand out.

I took this
photo at home! It was foggy out and I was enjoying the fog from my bedroom
window. I decided to go outside and take some photos of the giant tree’s that
stood over my backyard since you could barely see the tops of them. While I was
outside though I ended up finding this beauty instead in my apple tree.

I was in the middle of walking when I heard a bird take
flight and I wanted to get a picture of him in the air. Then I noticed later
that he had a cracker in his mouth. So I not only got the bird in mid flight,
but a bird with some food. Maybe a Nilla?

My family and I made a day trip to the ocean and Mr. Bird
here was following us everywhere we went. I tried to get him while he was in
mid wobble. You can also see the horse and tire tracks. With the color of the
sand and the other objects the bird is almost hard to see. I tried to get a
certain angle where you could see him a little better.

In this photo I was trying to get the color blend of white
and pink. It was very gloomy day but the flowers were still vibrant. It caught
my eye and I took this. I tried really hard on the depth of field. You can
clearly see all the pedals trying to spread out any way they can.

These puddles are everywhere around our school, which makes
walking around and parking a little challenging. The title is an inside joke
with my friends. I like the cars in the back like they are avoiding the water.
